Chapter 87 Not the Time
"Well, Grandpa is a very hardworking person. He grows a lot of vegetables in the yard of his hometown and raises chickens and dogs. Anyway, he can't sit still. He likes to eat the vegetables he grows. If you let him sit idle and do nothing, it would be torture for him."
"My grandfather was shot in the left leg when he was young. Now his left leg is weak. It hurts a lot on rainy days, and he can't walk steadily."
"My grandfather is a little deaf and needs a hearing aid. He also has a cough, lung disease, and heart problems. The doctor said he's in the early stages of heart failure, which will get worse with age."
"Now he just has to take medicine to maintain his health, and he dare not stop for a day. But grandpa is old, let alone surgery, even a fall is very dangerous, so this is also a worry for my parents. My mother goes to see him whenever she has time, and she has to call him every day to remind him to take his medicine. My parents have tried many ways to bring grandpa to live with us, but he just won't agree."
"Well, we can't force Grandpa to stay here against his will. He's a very manly man. If he's not willing, we dare not touch him, for fear of backfire."
Lin Yi listened quietly, and roughly formed the outline of his grandfather in his mind.
"Okay, I understand. Let's go together this time. I will try my best to convince him."
"Shi Yi, I also have an idea, would you like to hear it?"
Gu Shiyi nodded: "Of course."
Lin Yi grabbed Gu Shiyi's small hand and squeezed it gently. After thinking for a while, he said, "I was thinking, since Grandpa can't stay idle, why don't we go to Peking University or Tsinghua University and rent a yard to live in? Just like the one in Grandpa's hometown, so that he can continue to grow vegetables and raise chickens."
Gu Shiyi looked at Lin Yi and smiled, "I've thought about it, but the rent for a courtyard like this in the capital is not cheap. Can we afford it?"
Her family is rich, but now that she is in college, Gu Shiyi doesn't want to ask for money anymore. She wants to take care of her grandfather through the efforts of herself and Lin Yi, so that she can feel a little comforted.
"You forgot that you can use your free time in college to start a business. The school will not only not hinder us, but will also support us in starting a business."
"Let's think about what to do later. We can definitely afford the rent for the yard. Grandpa's living habits won't change much later. Although we're not in our hometown anymore, I think he wouldn't refuse to see you every day."
Gu Shiyi smiled: "Lin Yi, if someone else said this to me, I would definitely think they were just empty promises, but when you tell me, why do I feel like it's coming soon?"
Lin Yi scratched her little nose lovingly.
"Because I can be unreliable in front of anyone, but I won't lie to you. From now on, think about what we should do after we return to the capital, or even a small business that Grandpa can get involved in. He's worked hard all his life and he's most afraid of losing his value. As long as there is value, there will be vitality."
When he was young, he served as a soldier to defend his country. This military spirit has been engraved in my grandfather's blood. Lin Yi analyzed that the reason why the old man did not want to live here was that he wanted to live on his own and did not want to be served by others.
If he really died and was unable to move in bed, it would be a torture for an old soldier like him. His energy and spirit would quickly dissipate and he would not be able to hold on for long.
But as long as there is something for the elderly to do, which makes them feel that they are still valuable, their whole mental state will be different.
Gu Shiyi nodded: "Okay, I have to think carefully about getting Grandpa involved."
"Let me think about it, and write it down. Then we can discuss and choose the best one, okay?"
As soon as Lin Yi finished speaking, Sun Xueliang stood up and announced.
"Dear students, I just received a call from the school. Today is Friday. After you find a place, you can go home first and return to school next Monday. You've worked hard these past two days. Please take a good rest and don't have to go to school."
